Thread Name: Play-party game 'Punchinello'
Subject: RE: Play-party game 'Punchinello'
Bronx New York Version from the 1970s:
Look whos here Punchanella Punchanella Look whos here Punchanella in a shoe (children circle around one kid while singing)
Well what can you do Punchanella Punchanella What can you do Punchanella in a shoe (child in the middle usually does a dance move)
Well we can do it too Punchanella Punchanella We can do it too Punchanella in a shoe (other children copy dance move)
So who do you choose Punchanella Punchanella Who do you choose Punchanella in a shoe (child closes her eyes and spins with her finger pointing out. whomever she is pointing to when the song stops, goes to the center next)
Thank you for posting this. My sister posted this song on FB and we all knew the words, but no one knew the origins.
